The seat-sharing deal between the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi alliance and the Congress has hit a deadlock. The Congress party is disputing the seat allocation offers made by Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray’s faction. The disagreements between the two parties extend to seat sharing formulas and claims over specific candidates. These disputes are hampering the progress towards reaching a final agreement on the seat-sharing arrangement. The deadlock has caused a delay in the alliance’s preparations for upcoming elections.
